    Re: How soon to grind after roasting?


    How coarse should I set the grind?

    Im grinding for drip filter and / or plunger. Ive got a rocky and a mazzer super jolly at home, can anyone provide me with some specifics for setting the grind?
    Table salt.

    Roll it between your fingers and it should feel about the same grain size as table salt.

    Although the best bet would be to make yourself a plunger and see if it ends-up with mud in the bottom of the cup.

      thanks andy for the sage advice. ill give it a whirl and let youl know how i go. the outlaws are as fanatical about their drip-filter as i am about espresso, so Ill soon know if its worked well or not!

        " ... some specifics for setting the grind?"

        On a Mini E, we set one full number coarser for plunger.
        Seems to work well.

        TG, re your preground beans, would it be worth considering having them
        in the freezer (double sealed in plastic bags) as long as poss? Not
        something Id do myself, but it has been done to prolong the life of
        roasted beans.

        Alternatively, encourage your friend to give a hand grinder along with
        the beans Preset to plunger setting of course.

          Thanks for the added suggestion.

          Whichever way it goes they are sure to end up with better coffee than they are used to.
